The Odd-Job Men Trailer

“Nowadays, people… they just don’t do things right.” ScreenDaily has revealed the first promo trailer for an indie comedy from Catalonia called The Odd-Job Men, at least that’s the English version of the title. The original Catalan title is Sis Dies Corrents, which translates directly to Six Current Days. It’s premiering at both the Locarno and Toronto Film Festivals this fall, which makes this a good discovery already. The story follows three handymen who spend a week going from door-to-door in Barcelona to fix whatever is broken. “A peculiar team of three handymen has to face a series of eccentric clients. Their everyday job becomes a surrealist and exhilarating experience.” The indie film stars Mohamed Mellali, Valero Escolar, and Pep Sarrà. I had a good feeling this might be pretty good and honestly it looks fantastic so far. It’s not often we ever see a film about handymen, but here we go and this looks astute and quite amusing. Check it out below.

Here’s the first international trailer (+ poster) for Neus Ballús’ The Odd-Job Men, direct from YouTube:

The Odd-Job Men Poster

A peculiar team of three handymen has to face a series of eccentric clients. Their everyday job becomes a surrealist & exhilarating experience. To get through his week probationary contract, a young Moroccan plumber must deal with equally eccentric colleagues and customers. Valero, his superior, doubts Moha has what it takes, or that customers will accept a Moroccan worker. Maybe six days is not enough time for someone to overcome their prejudices. But it might be enough to discover that we must live together. The Odd-Job Men, originally known as Sis Dies Corrents (Six Current Days) in Catalan, is directed by Catalan filmmaker Neus Ballús, director of the films The Plague and Staff Only previously, as well as a few shorts and TV series. The screenplay is written by Neus Ballús & Margarita Melgar. This is premiering at the 2021 Locarno Film Festival and Toronto Film Festival this fall. No other release dates have been set – stay tuned.

Watch: Adorable Animated Short ‘Crush’ About Cable Cars in Love by Alex Billington February 18, 2022 Source: Vimeo This might just be the sweetest short film you’ll see all year. Crush is an adorable 3-minute animated short made by a French animation collective called MegaComputeur (from their site: “We love telling stories and bringing characters to life… Especially dumb characters.”) and it’s a must watch . It was commissioned by the French Alps ski resort Val Thorens and it’s a delightful short about two cable cars in love. A scrap dealer about to crush an old 80s cable car imagines what life was like for two mountain lovers on cables. The character designs are so cute and I love how pure their love is – sharing fondue and snacks together, relaxing in a hot tub, making snowmen. Yes, I can confirm that this definitely makes me want to visit the mountains. I always adore these kind of warm, charming animated shorts that are meant to make you smile and laugh. Thanks to S...

Full US Trailer for Creepy Icelandic Thriller ‘Lamb’ with Noomi Rapace by Alex Billington July 27, 2021 Source: YouTube “It’s not a child. It’s an animal.” Someone loves their little lamb a bit too much. A24 has revealed an official US trailer for an unsettling film from Iceland called Lamb , which just premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival earlier this month. A childless couple in rural Iceland make an alarming discovery one day in their sheep barn. They will soon face the consequences of defying the will of nature, in this dark and atmospheric folktale. This one is described in reviews as a “highly original take on the anxieties of being a parent, a tale in which nature plus nurture yields a nightmare.” The film stars Noomi Rapace (who is actually Swedish but she moved to Iceland as a child where she spent some time growing up), Björn Hlynur Haraldsson , and Hilmir Snær Guðnason . This looks like it starts out as an intriguing story about connecting with a little lamb...
